Perfect Flower for Midsummer – Try Zinnias!

Hot weather can affect our gardens–especially flowers and flowering plants. After weeks of cool and rainy spring weather here in Minnesota, our garden flowers can wither in the intense heat of midsummer.

Zinnias do well in the heat and are tolerant of a missed watering, making them an easy flower to keep blooming all summer. Zinnias are the perfect summer plant because they have bright, vibrantly colored orange, yellow, and pink blooms.

For a pop of color in your garden or planters on your porch, pick up easy-to-care-for 6-paks of Zinnias from Bachman’s at your local Lunds & Byerlys!

To keep your zinnias looking fresh all season long, use a water-soluble fertilizer once a month, and be sure to water whenever the top of the soil is dry to the touch. Place in an area with full sun as these flowers thrive in sunny spots! Prolong the beauty of your zinnias by deadheading spent blooms as needed, as this will encourage plants to keep producing new flowers.

Later this month, look for vibrant zinnia planters at your local Lunds & Byerlys for a quick way to brighten your porch, deck, or patio. These colorful planters make a thoughtful gift for any gardeners in your life who have a summer birthday or any special occasion, or to make them smile.
